Please don't forget to pick a license when you upload images. "Fair Use" is always safe.

Thanks!

Especially in cases such as File:Canon vs fanon clownpiece.png - you said that it's "Used with permission", but you didn't say what the permission terms are and the link you provided doesn't say either. Which license are we using that image under: something casual that you received by email, something formal like the LGPL or a CC license, or something else?

We need to know these things, so that we don't have lawyers coming after us.

If I say "Used with permission" then I either made a mistake and didn't notice, or I got permission. With the image you mentioned, I got permission via Deviant Art PM.

Me: "Can I use this image for a wiki?"

Reply: "Sure"

The permission I've received has always been like that, but might come with conditions that I haven't bothered (but probably should have) to specify, e.g. link to the creator or maybe I only asked to use it for a specific page and thus perhaps usage other than that requires new & broader permission.

There is a fuzzy case with File:Hand Maiden.jpg , so I'll bring that up in that file's talk section.

Thanks.

No problem.

Sometimes I assume I have permission if the creator says something that strongly indicates he/she is fine with people can distributing his/her work as they please (without approaching for permission first). For example:

Feel free to repost my art this is the internet, I'm not a cop

Yeah, that's good. We just need to have a copy of that here, is all.
